The next day, at 11:00 AM.
One of the first rays of morning sunlight fell on Lin Mo.
The chat window on the phone next to him was overflowing with countless messages.
[Lin Mo!!! Where did you go?! I came looking for you this morning, why weren't you in your room?!]
[Lin Mo, do you know how tiring it is to finish up this work?! I'm exhausted after just thirty minutes! Where did you go?! Come out here right now! There's a summary meeting this afternoon that requires your attendance! Did you skip it all?]
[Playing cards and slacking off is pure bliss: Lin Mo, I heard from the dorm supervisor that they saw you go out around midnight last night. Where did you go, staying up so late?]
[Playing cards and slacking off is pure bliss: Lin Mo, Lin Mo, did you know? Someone claiming to be the assistant to the director of the Intelligence Bureau just came to the Industrial Construction Department, saying he needs to see you. He had such dark circles under his eyes, he's obviously a workaholic! It's terrifying! But speaking of which, Lin Mo? When did you get involved with the Intelligence Bureau?]
[Playing cards and slacking off is pure bliss: Lin Mo... stop pretending to be dead! Reply to my message!]
[Playing cards and slacking off is pure bliss: Lin Mo, what am I supposed to do if you run away? There's still a ton of work to do at the Construction Department, how am I supposed to survive?!]
[Playing cards and slacking off is pure bliss: Hey, Lin Mo, you're not really dead, are you?]
[Playing cards and slacking off is pure bliss: Lin Mo, don't scare me! Let me tell you, I'm a scaredy-cat. If you scare me into doing something terrible, you'll be responsible!]
[The ultimate pleasure of slacking off and playing cards: Lin Mo, you...you're not really in trouble, are you?]
[Playing cards while slacking off is pure bliss: {Voice call} not answered, click to call back]
[Playing cards while slacking off is pure bliss: {voice call} not answered, call back]
...
...
In just a few hours, the news has been bombarding us with this overwhelming message.
Fortunately, Lin Mo had the foresight to silence his phone early yesterday, which allowed him to get a good night's sleep.
However, this rare moment of tranquility is about to end.
With a loud bang, the door of Lin Mo's house was kicked open by the aggressive Qing Que. Li Ling behind him couldn't help but swallow hard and gasp.
Is this the legendary... "Children at home have grown up, with strength to uproot mountains and a spirit to overwhelm the world"?
Lin Mo finally snapped out of his daze, sat up, and looked around blankly.
Tap tap tap.
A series of strong, hurried footsteps approached.
"??? What's going on? An earthquake? Wait, this is the Immortal Ship, how could there be an earthquake?"
Before Lin Mo could react, the bedroom door was opened.
With a creak.
Lin Mo subconsciously turned his head to look.
*Snap!* That was fast!
A jade pendant in shades of cinnabar and a faint aura of destiny lashed out at Lin Mo’s face.
"What the hell are you doing?"
After grimacing for a while, he finally realized what was happening.
Lin Mo looked at Qing Que and his assistant Li Ling at the door and understood the current situation.
No way? They came all the way to my house? Is that really necessary?
After Lin Mo realized what had happened, he covered his swollen cheek and glared at the murderous Qing Que with displeasure.
He wanted to retort, but after sensing the murderous intent in the other person's eyes, he wisely chose to keep quiet.
Li Ling, who was holding documents behind him, wiped the cold sweat from his brow, subconsciously took a step back, and closed the door with a dry laugh.
"Hey, wait a minute!"
Lin Mo was about to speak up to stop him, but it was too late.
Staring at the crack in the closed door, his lips twitched. Damn it, how can your assistant be so inconsiderate! She didn't even try to help me out of that awkward situation. How did she become an assistant with such low emotional intelligence?!
Li Ling certainly knew what to do at that time, but he was willing but unable to do so!
Although he had long anticipated that a bloody storm would inevitably ensue after Qingque found Lin Mo, and he had even thought of how to exonerate Lin Mo, he never expected that your girlfriend would be so fierce... It really made him feel ashamed.
After weighing the pros and cons, Li Ling felt it was better not to interfere in the young couple's affairs.
The reason why Li Ling thought the two were a young couple dates back to a few hours earlier.
It was still morning then, and Qingque wasn't too surprised by Lin Mo's situation.
At that time, he had just arrived at the Bureau of Works and unexpectedly found Qingque, who looked gloomy, asking her about Lin Mo. Upon hearing the name Lin Mo, Qingque, who was puzzled because she couldn't find Lin Mo, immediately brightened up, thinking that she knew where Lin Mo was. However, after talking with him, she found out that she had also come to find Lin Mo.
However, due to the need for secrecy, he did not tell the other party that Lin Mo had come to the prison last night.
Upon learning that she was also looking for Lin Mo, Qingque decided to take him along to ask him.
Li Ling was stunned when he heard the news. He had initially thought that she didn't want to work, which was why he decided to take her with him to look for her. However, during the search, she became increasingly upset and eventually became even more anxious than he was, acting as if her boyfriend had run away...
Later, when Yu Zhao located Lin Mo's cell phone signal at his home, Qing Que instantly became furious, muttering something about tearing Lin Mo to pieces.
From that moment on, Li Ling felt that the two were probably a couple.
When the door closed, only the two of them remained in the bedroom.
